E08 Restoring doors and hardware with linseed products and Speedheater

Описание: In this vlog I am showing for the first time renovations inside of my house, the old school of Östra Ljungby in Sweden. I am turning a few rooms into a new guest apartment that will be ready by summer. And I start this series by showing how I am renovatin the old doors by removing the paint from the doors and treat it with linseed oil.

Using linseed is an old tradition in Sweden, and it prolonges the life of the wood, preventing it from drying out and cracking up and protecting it from moisture. It's used as paint (oil mixed with pigments), cleaning products and protective treatment for both wood and metal and much more. An example is linseed soap that I use to clean the hardware in this video. It's mostly used as a combined cleaning product/protective/dirt reppellent/brightening treatment for wooden floors. Floors treated like this are called "skurgolv" which literally means scrub floors because you used to clean the floors with a scrub and the linseed soap. I will use linseed products for painting kitchen, windows and furniture, oiling doors, skirting boards and door trims, waxing thresholds and probably kitchen bench and of course treat the floors.
